This book examines advanced approaches to finance infrastructure projects. In doing so, it synthesizes developments and generates new understandings in the field. Infrastructure financing has moved beyond traditional government funding, multilateral assistance, and project finance, to a diverse set of innovative approaches, increasing participation from private, institutional, commercial, and philanthropic investors. Chapters in the book discuss various infrastructure finance themes including the dynamism of project finance, diversification of multilateral assistance into various concessional and guarantee instruments, the surge of green and other thematic bonds, the role of land value capture, funded and unfunded risk mitigation options, growth of private institutional markets, and asset recycling. Given that developments in infrastructure finance are followed by many financial institutions, private developers, public sector policymakers, consulting firms and academic institutions, a researched discussion on the subject will help readers reflect on, compare and contrast the emerging trends in relation to their practice.
The book attempts to provide the essential information that postgraduates throughout India need to capture to effectively address the health problems that our children and youth may face in the times to come. Our objective is to be comprehensive yet concise and reader friendly, embracing both the new advances in science as well as the time-honored art of pediatric practice. Both Indian and international experts in respective fields have provided the details which have been further scrutinized for exposition and usefulness to pediatric postgraduates by a chosen team of eminent academicians. We have liberally included tables, line diagrams, images, clinical photographs, illustrative figures, flowcharts and algorithms in the main text. The book is divided in 10 major Parts and further arranged into 51 Sections to cover all aspects of postgraduate pediatric curriculum. Themes which have major public health relevance for India are extensively covered. It is almost impossible to cover all pediatric problems with the same degree of detail and hence a careful balance has been made in the details of description of diseases and their management to the needs of the students, and to keep the book to a manageable size. Take-home messages are provided at the end of each chapter. Selected recent references, mostly leading articles, reviews and position statements, are provided for more detailed information if desired by the student or the teacher.
“Woman is the companion of man, gifted with equal mental capacities. She has the right to participate in the minutest details in the activities of man, and she has an equal right of freedom and liberty with him. She is entitled to a supreme place in her own sphere of activity as man is in his. This ought to be the natural condition of things and not as a result only of learning to read and write. By sheer force of a vicious custom, even the most ignorant and worthless men have been enjoying a superiority over woman which they do not deserve and ought not to have. Many of our movements stop half way because of the condition of our women.”
Accelerate Business Value Realization and Drive Financial Accountability for Cloud Infrastructure KEY FEATURES ● In-depth knowledge of establishing and operating the FinOps model. ● A collection of use cases examining the adoption and benefits of FinOps. ● Includes Cloud cost optimization solutions such as waste elimination, appropriate sizing, and purchasing strategy. DESCRIPTION FinOps is a novel cloud operating model that uses interdisciplinary teams to manage cloud expenditures in concert. With the help of the tools, best practices, and culture introduced in this book, businesses can analyze cloud expenses and make strategic decisions in a better way. The book's ultimate objective is to teach companies how to establish a reasonable cost, speed, and quality balance in the cloud. The book begins with an overview of why FinOps exists, the problems it solves, the principles it is based on, and how it fits into the history of financial management. The subsequent chapters of this book explain the three stages—inform, optimize, and operate—and the best methods to use in each stage. The book then explains in depth, with examples, how to maximize efficiency while minimizing expenses for each of the three major public cloud providers: Google, Amazon, and Microsoft. The book also covers cost optimization techniques for the public cloud, FinOps operations management, cloud cost visibility, and forecasting. WHAT YOU WILL LEARN ● Highlights of the evolution and demand of FinOps by prominent organizations. ● Learn the ins and outs of the cloud billing system. ● Utilization of regression methods to extract insights from the FinOps data. ● Gain a thorough understanding of running all the FinOps processes. ● Investigate and test several ways to optimize your cloud spending. ● Learn about the various cloud benefits provided by Azure, AWS, and GCP. WHO THIS BOOK IS FOR If you are a finance, DevOps, or IT professional looking to collaborate on decision-making and cost control in the overall cloud financial operations, this is the only knowledge book you need. In addition, multiple teams, including Procurement, Service Delivery, and Platform Engineering, can read this book to inspire curiosity and exploration. TABLE OF CONTENTS 1. Introduction to FinOps 2.

Although hematopoetic stem cell (HSC) transplantation has been in practice for almost half a century, the improved understanding of stem cells over past two decades has revolutionised this field making it as most promising aspect of translational medicine. HSC are found in small numbers in peripheral blood as compared to bone marrow. However, use of growth factors has opened new avenues to successfully use peripheral blood as source of CD 34+ HSC. These are pluripotent cells that are competent for self renewal and differentiation to a variety of specialised cells and are replenished with fresh cells every day. Recent understanding about their mobilisation, homing and plasticity suggest that they can be useful for the maintenance and regeneration of various specialised tissues. This provides an opportunity to explore the specific niche responsible for stem cell plasticity, their trans-differentiation into specific cellular lineages as well the kinetics of their recovery whenever required. The normal physiological microenvironment may be unable to provide a suitable environment for the rapid regeneration of HSC required for coping with tissue damage and may need some external interventions. The autologous stem-cell transplantation (SCT), has decreased risk of graft -- versus -- host disease, and provides opportunities of external interventions in terms of ex vivo manipulation. In the diseases of hematopoietic and immune system allogeneic transplant remains a better modality but is associated with grave risk of graft -- versus -- host disease (GVHD). However, in these cases it is needed to engineer the hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) graft to remove the cells which cause GVHD or relapse to improve graft functions. Hematopoetic stem cell transplantations have been successful in a variety of diseases including leukemia and other hematopoetic disorders. Though results of HSCT are promising, developing a more mechanistic approach to plasticity and improving the external interventions and ex vivo manipulations may lead to improving the efficiency and speed of regeneration of transplanted cells. This could result in better use and wider application of stem cell based therapies.
